Charlie Bucket loves chocolate. And Mr Willy Wonka, the most wondrous inventor
in the world, is opening the gates of his amazing chocolate factory to five

river of melted chocolate delight await – Charlie needs just one Golden
Ticket and these delicious treats could all be his.
Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator
Charlie Bucket has won Willy Wonka's chocolate factory and is on his way to
take possession of it – in none other than a great glass elevator! But when
the elevator makes a fearful whooshing noise, Charlie and his family find
themselves in splendid orbit around the Earth. A daring adventure has begun,
with the one and only Mr Willy Wonka leading the way.
The BFG
The well-loved story of a big friendly giant who spirits a child out of bed to
the land of the child-eating giants. Every night, when the world is sleeping,
big gruesome giants guzzle up whoppsy-whiffling human beans. And there's only

with his friend Sophie in his top pocket, he sets out to rid the world of the
Bloodbottler, the Fleshlumpeater and all their rotsome friends forever.
Danny the Champion of the World
Danny thinks his dad is the most marvellous and exciting father a boy could wish
for. Life is happy and peaceful in their gipsy caravan, until one day Danny
discovers his dad has been breaking the law. What's more, soon Danny has to
join his father as they attempt to pull off a daring and devilish plot against
their horrible, greedy neighbour, Mr Victor Hazell.
The Twits
Mr and Mrs Twit are extremely nasty, so the Muggle-Wump monkeys and the
Roly-Poly bird hatch an ingenious plan to give them just the ghastly surprise
they deserve!
George's Marvellous Medicine
Most grandmas are kind and helpful ladies. Not George's grandma. She's a
grumpy and grizzly old grouch and George wants to teach her a lesson. So when
it's time for her medicine, George concocts a bubbling, frothing, marvelous
mixture, which is guaranteed to send her through the roof…
